Basketball superstar Kevin Durant has gone under the television producers. Together with Apple and Imagine Television, Durant will release a scripted reality series called “Swagger”.

The format is inspired by Durant’s beginnings in the American amateur sports organization “Amateur Athletic Union” (AAU). The Golden State Warriors forward played as a teenager for various AAU teams in the Maryland area.

“I’m so excited to be partnering with Imagine and Apple for this series… there’s much more to come,”twittered Durant.
